Nothing has changed.

But if you take the pup, you have a chance at saving it. Of giving it the opportunity to grow strong and healthy.

Or you can walk away.

It's a matter of options and what you feel you can handle. In this world, not everything is ideal. Sometimes you have to "make do".
You don't put a deposit on a puppy without researching the breeder, and asking the breeder at what age they let the puppies go.

You can justify it to yourself be telling yourself you're saving it, but in reality you are just supporting the miserable lives of those poor unfortunate mothers

Putting money into the hands of puppy millers ensures that they will breed again, so although you have saved one, you have brought misery onto so many more.
